Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2541246A] A heat generating system comprising a heat pump, electrical immersion elements, thermal stores, pumps, heat exchangers, a software driven control system, a means of remote control and a local control network linking local systems. This provides the means to be able to remotely control the timing and quantity of energy drawn from the Grid in or­der to provide instantaneously controllable electrical demand for the purposes of Grid bal­ancing whilst maintaining a continuous supply of heat to the building or process for which it is built. The local network will preferably comprise of the following; a physical connection, a direct wireless connection, a wireless internet connection or a GSM phone network. The connection will also be bi-directional and the local control system will preferably transmit information to the instantaneous storage capacity available in the said network to the control room.
